Engineered for modularity and performance, the T500 Pro is an all-in-one reflux column and condenser designed to streamline the distillation process while delivering exceptional results. This innovative unit combines advanced functionality with unmatched convenience, eliminating the need for separate components. Its integrated design features a pre-packed column with both copper and stainless steel saddles, optimising vapour reflux and elevating the quality of your distillate.
Constructed from the highest quality materials, the T500 Pro is crafted with precision using T2-grade copper for the column and cold finger coil, complemented by durable stainless steel tri-clamp ferrules. The use of copper in the spirit path enhances the distillation process by reducing unwanted compounds, ensuring a cleaner, smoother finish. Food-grade, high-temperature silicone seals are included for use in the tri-clamp connections.
The T500 Pro features a thermowell at the top of the column for accurate vapour temperature monitoring, a beeping alarm thermometer with adjustable high and low temperature alerts, and robust 2” tri-clamp fittings for a secure, modular setup. The detachable product condenser and removable cold finger cooling coil offer added versatility, while improved water efficiency saves up to 30% compared to the original T500, depending on usage.
Ideal for producing clean, neutral alcohol, the T500 Pro delivers exceptional clarity and purity in every run. It can reach up to 93% ABV and recover up to 95% of the alcohol from your wash—producing a neutral spirit that’s ideal for vodka or as a base for flavourings, gins, and other botanical spirits. The T500 Pro is perfect for distilling water, thanks to the combined performance of copper and stainless steel saddles, which aid in the effective removal of impurities.
The T500 Pro is compatible with the Create+ Boiler 25 L and the Grainfather G30, G40, and G70 Brewing Systems, making it a powerful and flexible addition to any distiller’s setup.

Still Spirits Boiler with Still Spirits CREATE+ Alembic Dome and Condenser (tri-clamp).
Unlike reflux stills that are engineered to strip flavour to produce clean, neutral spirits, the large copper surface area of this pot still enables it to carry over the distinct flavours and aromas of a wash into the final product, creating a full-flavoured spirit. This makes it ideal for creating flavoursome spirits like whiskey, bourbon, rum, and gin. This set up is also suitable for distilling water and hydrosols.
This T500 Boiler features two power switches. When both switches are on, the element will be supplied full power of 2200W for 220V units, or 1600W for 120V units. You can lower this to 1100W by switching one of the two switches off (220V unit) or by switching off the 500W switch (120V unit). This can be extremely useful when distilling dark spirits such as Whiskey, Rum and Bourbon as you are able to now control the amount of power and have a gentler boil for your final spirit runs.
Features:
- For intermediate-advanced distilling
- Dome and Condenser made from Copper with tri clamp connections
- Designed in New Zealand

Superdelic Cryo
Batch: 25-114
Alpha: 23.4%
Beta: 8.50%
The unique oil chemistry profile of this hop produces unique flavours and aromas of Red Fruit, Candy/ Lolly, Citrus, and Tropical Fruit.
Breeding
Superdelic™ (Trial Hop • NZH-102) is a triploid variety (cultivar) that was crossed by Dr. Ron Beatson in 2012 through our partnership breeding program with Plant and Food Research.
Having performed well in the small plot trials and showing sensory attributes of red fruit in early brewing trials it was fast tracked by our Grower Committee to the NZ Hops trial hop farm in 2017. It exhibited great performance in the field with a vigorous growth pattern, resistance to mite damage, and high yield.
Selection
This exceptional hop is a playful number, with red fruit, candy, citrus and tropical fruit characteristics, offering brewers something totally different to use in their craft.
Brewing
In a Hazy IPA it revealed its ripe mango, sweet berry, and citrus notes. We also noticed its unique performance, with great biotransformation properties from dry hopping during active fermentation. It is an incredible addition to our brewery. We were lucky to be one of the first to try it.” says Mike Sutherland, Director at Sawmill Brewery.
Applications
A versatile hop that can be used as a single hop addition and has great synergies in combination with other hops. Pairs well with Citra, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka.
Cryo Hops® pellets are the concentrated lupulin of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils. It is designed to provide intense hop flavour and aroma, enabling brewers to efficiently dose large quantities of alpha acids and oils without introducing astringent flavours or vegetative material. Cryo Hops® pellets can be utilised anywhere whole-leaf hops and hop pellets are traditionally applied.
Dosage rate: We recommend a dosage rate of Cryo Hops pellets of 40-50% of T-90 hop pellets by weight.
CHIEF ADVANTAGES
- Nearly twice the resin content of traditional T-90 hop pellets
- Intense contribution of hop flavour and aroma
- Reduced grassy and vegetal characteristics
- Increased yield through reduced brewhouse trub

Mango Madness yeast is an innovative and cutting-edge strain selected to revolutionise the brewing process with its unique aromatic profile, thermotolerant properties, and ability to accelerate fermentation. By using Mango Madness yeast, you can achieve faster turnarounds without compromising on the quality and flavour profiles of your hop forward beers.
Mango Madness produces a guava and mango aroma and gives high levels of biotransformation, a diacetyl rest is not needed with this yeast strain. A dry hop can be performed at temperatures in the 15-25°C degree range and associated hop creep is lower then other IPA strains. Mango Madness yeast thrives in high-temperature environments, allowing for fermentation at elevated temperatures beyond the capabilities of traditional yeast strains. This thermotolerance not only enables brewers to shorten fermentation and conditioning times significantly but also reduces energy costs associated with cooling.
Specifications
Yeast Strain: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Fermentation Temperature: 31°C to 37°C
ABV Tolerance: 17%
Nitrogen Demand: Very High
Attenuation: 76-80%
Flocculation: Low
Pitch Rate: 0.3-1g per Litre
Usage: Sprinkle contents directly onto wort. Ferment at 31°C to 37°C. Oxygenation and/or rehydration may not be needed for generation zero but may be beneficial.
Once opened, re-seal to keep out air and water. For best results, store re-sealed packs in a refrigerator (0°C to 10°C) and use promptly. Please note expiry date on packs prior to opening.
When added to water or a water solution, this yeast releases CO₂, especially on substrates high in sugars or starch. Ensure adequate ventilation to keep levels below advised exposure limits.
Ingredients: Dried yeast (yeast, emulsifier [sorbitan monostearate]).
